A Sunday afternoon spent browsing through potential bridesmaid dresses has yielded this crop of beauties... now the decision making process begins!!
The wedding is starting to take on a classic elegance theme, more than romantic formal.
Of course, these are just dress design ideas. The colors aren't necessarily part of the wedding color palette. Most likely, however, I will have the bridesmaids dresses either burgundy or chocolate, with cream or champagne/gold accents.

Here is dress #1... very classy, with a feminine off-the-shoulder look...I also love the way the skirt has an overlayed/wrap-around look...

Dress #2...reminiscent of Regency design (think Jane Austen) with a lovely empire waist and soft puffed sleeves...
